Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit - 97 F.3d 1457 (8th Cir. 1996) Submitted Sept. 10, 1996. Filed Sept. 19, 1996

Before FAGG, HEANEY and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


James Edward Banks pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm. On appeal, Banks contends the district court improperly denied Banks's motion to suppress. A review of the record and the parties' briefs show the ruling of the district court was correct. Because the appeal involves the straightforward application of settled principles of law, an extended discussion of the issues will serve no useful purpose. We thus affirm for the reasons stated in the district court's order. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
